Free Speech Rally, Boston

More fascism from the left...

Masked anarchists violently rout right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley
As the crowd swelled to several times that size, officers stepped aside and allowed hundreds of people angered by the presence of the right-wing rally to climb over the barriers into the park, said Officer Jennifer Coats, a spokeswoman for Berkeley police.

When will the democrats condemn these hate groups?

And when will the cops do their jobs instead of running away?

Do they realize the irony of them protesting free speech?

Best case scenario is that they had no clue what organization and message they were protesting, but were a mindless anti-nazi mob incited (apart from evidence) by a false cry of "Nazi!". Which is also disturbing.
It seems the Boston one was incited by a false CNN story, and the San Francisco one was incited by Nancy Pelosi.

Berkeley braces for visit by right-wing speaker Ben Shapiro

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- The University of California, Berkeley will seal off large parts of its campus like a fortress with a closed perimeter and a "very large" visible police presence Thursday, when the birthplace of America's free speech movement faces its next potential clashes.

City and campus authorities anticipate demonstrations at a speech by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, a former Breitbart editor, and are preparing for possible violence with a variety of new strategies and tightened security.

For the first time in two decades, officers will be armed with pepper spray after the city council modified a 1997 ban at an emergency meeting this week.

It would be in America. Just as communist speech is free speech.

The police just need to set up an antifa trap. Lure them in with a fake speech, and have undercover cops all over the crowd. When they attack, they are all arrested.

that's kinda what I meant by "fake speech" - some event that they couldn't resist coming to and attack. Heck they could just be open about it and say it is a "support your local Police" or "Blue Lives Matter" rally and you would have the Antifa and BLM thugs there in droves.

I think the Shapiro thing is today sometime, we'll see if the cops can keep control.

The places such rallies tend to take place are in large cities -- liberal Democrat strongholds. Considering how in such places the police have actually been ordered to stand down the chance of them ever doing such a thing is very small.
